What to say when people assume you are carrying a fake!

MemberThread Starter

Just went to pick my son up at the childminders and another parent came in at the same time to pick up her son. I saw her looking at my bag a couple of times and as I was leaving she said to me gosh isn't it amazing how good the fake handbags are on ebay!

I nearly choked - I was too shocked to answer back.

Why do people assume coz you are carrying a high end bag that it has to be fake. The cheek of some people

Yeah I just kinda left with my tail between my legs - so angry now that I didn't retaliate! Sooooooo going to go in there tomorrow with a different baby on my arm and be sooo ready with a killer answer!

Oh my...I would never say anything to anyone even if I DID think they had a fake bag. Besides the fact that I would hardly know a fake bag if it bit me in the butt, I'd be super embaressed for them if they WERE carrying a fake! I don't think it's something to be proud of that's for sure.

It reminds me of that line from Seinfeld "They're real...and they're Spectacular!" ROFL
